Passion Stories with Free To Flourish
Welcome to the Passion Stories Podcast, a conversational series that features people who have made career transitions into work they feel fulfilled with, or started their own passion business.
We talk about when they decided to make the change, why they do the work they do, what helped them overcome obstacles with the transition, and any tips that they would give to others sitting on the idea of making these big changes.
People from the environmental, social change, health and wellness, and creative industries come on to share their story in hopes to inspire others to go after their own professional dreams.

Ocean Plastic Consultant: Carolynn Box
Carolynn is an Ocean Conservation Consultant, Mentor, and Business Owner. Much of her work has been focused on ocean plastic pollution and activism. She spent years working for 5 Gyres where she led Ocean Expeditions and raised awareness for policy campaigns. She also co-runs Goods Holding Company, that uses new plastic free tools for grocery shopping to help limit the dependence on plastic. Now Carolynn is a consultant in the San Francisco Bay area where she develops workshops to address plastic microfiber solutions in California. She has spent the last ten years with her work dedicated to ocean plastic pollution and the awareness and policy campaigns that have helped bring attention to the growing issue.
Carolynn worked with me in the one on one Coaching Program as well as the continued Monthly Accountability. She talks about how when we started working together her networking program was just an idea and not something she was sure how to develop further. It’s been so great to witness this program come to life out of a dedicated passion that she already had; and then to see the impact it is having already on clients she just worked with.
